Ok so I've added all the rock I had (might as well) so I dont just waste them. I'm actually much happier it looks great I can't wait to add coral.

Also I plan on feeding tomorrow a cube of food with all the current in the tank? Lol

Looks good bro! I don't know of it makes a difference but I shut my pump down. Not the power head put the pump in the chamber. I just unplug it so the food doesn't get taken out before they can eat. I also for a minute shut off my power head so some food can settle allowing some sand bed corals to get some food as well as snails etc.

I've read on the reef forums that those work well and are in fact quieter. Many have changed to those.

22 Engine has it and it's working out awesome. He uses the jbj fuge light and added a air line with a small pump to aerate the fuge and keep the macro algae alive. It's working out just fine.

The air line helped out a lot for him. I had read about using the air line and a small pump in a magazine and on some reef forums. It proved to be worth it. I'll let him add to it but in the end I think he's happy he did it.

Yes I the air line is worth it and I am glad convict told me about it before I gave up on the fuge. Before I added the airline my chaeto was dieing and brown but now it is a bright green.

Do you mean the sponge that's in chamber three? I didn't have a sponge actually on the pump.
